Oat, Flax & Caraway Crackers

• 2 cups oat flour
• 2 tablespoons flaxmeal
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (or vegan butter melted)
• ¹⁄₄ cup warm water ((maybe a tbsp extra if dry))
• 1 teaspoon maple syrup ((optional, but gives a nice flavor!))
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon caraway
• ¹⁄₈ teaspoon black pepper
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon baking powder

‍

1. Preheat your oven to 325F
2. Combine the oat flour, baking powder, salt, caraway seeds flaxmeal and pepper in a small mixing bowl, then whisk them together.
3. Add the melted butter and maple syrup add it to the flour mixture and mix everything together. The mixture will be a little dry and clumpy.
4. Slowly add the warm water and stir to combine. You should have a soft dough that holds together well, but is not at all sticky. If your dough is too dry, add another 1/2 teaspoon of water at a time until it holds together. If your dough is too wet, add another teaspoon of flour at a time until it is no longer sticky. Knead your dough for a couple minutes till it forms a smooth dough
5. Roll out the dough between two parchment paper pieces ( which makes it easier) or in a non stick surface. Roll out to desired thickness!
6. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out the crackers
7. Place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for about 20 minutes (this will change depending on the thickness of your crackers) or until golden brown once cooked transfer to a rack to cool, let them cool completely and enjoy on their own or my favorite combo... spiced plum chutney & thick slices of (vegan) cheddar!
8. Store any that are not eaten immediately in an airtight container for 1 week
9. ♡ Say a prayer of gratitude, sprinkle a whole lotta love and eat with joy!
